Rockwood Student-Athletes Celebrated During Spring Signing Day Ceremonies
Over April and May, 25 student-athletes representing all four Rockwood high schools participated in spring athletic signing day ceremonies.
Combined with the 50 who signed in the fall and 33 who signed in the winter, 108 Rockwood student-athletes have signed on to play at the next level during this school year.
These students, representing 11 different sports, celebrated the next step of their academic and athletic journey with family, friends, coaches and other well-wishers as they prepare to head off to 20 different colleges and universities across eight different states.
Congratulations to all of these Rockwood student-athletes, and everyone who has played a part in getting them where they are today!
